I don't think this is bad since you are out of position against a stack that probably won't fold to any raise & I doubt AQ will be ahead of any part of his range. You wiffed the flop anyway so a check/fold is fine.

AQ isn't a great hand, you will always be on the wrong side of a coinflip or dominated unless villan is a complete muppet. The only time I would raise here is when villan has been seen limp folding.
